[Verse 1]
D   A
     I look for trouble and I found it son
 
Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
 
I tried to run but I don't think I can
 
You make one move and you're a dead man friend
              D
Ain't living long like this
             A
Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
    E
He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back
 
And left me reeling on a steel reel rack
             D
They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby
               A
Ain't living long like this
 
Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
 
 
[Verse 2]
 A
Grew up in Houston off the wayside drives
 
Son of a carhop and some all night dives
 
Dad drove a stock car to an early death
 
All I remember was a drunk man's breath
              D
Ain't living long like this
             A
Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
    E
You know the story how the wheel goes 'round
 
Don't let them take you to the man down town
              D
Can't sleep at all in a jailhouse baby
              A
Ain't living long like this
 
Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
 
 
[Verse 3]
   A
I live with Angel she's a roadhouse queen
 
Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee
 
I want to love her but I don't know how
 
I'm at the bottom in the jailhouse now
              D
Ain't living long like this
         A
Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
    E
You know the story about the jailhouse rock
 
Don't want to do it but just don't get caught
             D
They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby
              A
Ain't living long like this
 
Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
